A few more non-Schwinns.
First, a Snel
Expedition, from Utrecht. Not my size, but I bought it anyway because the seller's pics showed a nice wheelset with Maxi-car hubs. The rest was a (nice) bonus:
I liked that Snel frame so much, that I kept an eye out for one in my size, which dutifully showed up earlier this year. I'll be rebuilding it this winter:
Another brand that always gets my attention: Springfield, from Haarlem. I bought this one as a bare frame and built it with my best NR bits a few years ago:
Another one in my size that showed up a few years ago. Needs new paint and decals. I found an NOS set of decals recently, so this could make a nice project for next summer:
Probably a Belgian frame, "branded" by a Brabant bike shop with limited ambition, given the name they chose: Sprinter. Surprisingly light (9.6kg) and deserves nicer parts than it currently wears:
The Sprey brand is owned by Daan Spreij, who - until recently - ran a bike shop in Aalsmeer. He sold his bikes locally, but since I live in the area, I have managed to acquire a few. During the eighties Daan built his own racing frames. This is one of them. Very nicely made, but too small for me, alas:
Daan liked building his own frames, but when he discovered that he wasn't really making any money on them, he switched to frames made by third parties. I have one made by Joco in Hilversum, and this one, pictured here with mr Spreij shortly before he retired, is made in Pistoia, Italy, by Viner:
